Hybrid manicure: an aesthetic and sustainable method
A hybrid manicure is one of the most popular techniques in nail styling because it ensures strong color retention and high chip resistance . The combination of base, color, and top coat allows for both minimalist looks and creative designs. Ocho Nails products are known for their precise density , intense pigmentation , and easy application , allowing you to create a polished manicure with a beautiful finish and durability that can last up to three weeks .
The perfect base for special tasks: Ocho Nails FLEX BASE
The self-leveling rubber Ocho Nails FLEX BASE is an excellent choice for thin, brittle, and fragile nails . The base visually blends in with the natural nail plate , evens out imperfections, and gives styling a smooth, even surface . Its slightly thicker consistency allows for precise application: it doesn't bleed into the cuticles and is easy to shape on the nail plate. The formula allows for nail extensions of up to 10 mm and offers durability comparable to a gel manicure .
Thanks to its rubber properties, the base continuously "works" with the natural nail: even after curing, it remains flexible and resilient . This allows the base to absorb minor impacts and daily stress, helping to protect the nail from breakage, cracking, or deformation . The opaque finish and soft color also enhance the final result: they can enhance the color tones of the subsequent polish and provide an extra-clean base. Ocho Nails FLEX BASE is available in 13 colors , ideal for quickly creating a subtle everyday look: apply base, cure, finish with a top coat — done.
